Ofer Winter might offer Israeli voters a new political slate, even supporting Netanyahu – editorial
Winter had declared that his party would only recommend Netanyahu as prime minister after the election, but must now explain how that position aligns with the party's platform of political renewal.
Retired IDF General Ofer Winter has launched his new "People of Israel" party, aiming to offer a fresh political slate to Israeli voters. The party's list comprises new faces, including Yoseph Haddad, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, and Laly Derai, who have not previously held national political office. Winter seeks to appeal to right-wing voters disillusioned with the current government but not inclined to support the opposition, emphasizing the need for new leadership following the October 7 events.
"We do not work for any person, only for the people of Israel," Winter stated, clarifying that his party would recommend Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister as the leader of the right-wing camp.
This position presents a political contradiction that Winter must reconcile with his party's message of political renewal. The party's success will depend on its ability to offer both new faces and a clear vision for change, potentially setting a new model for Israeli politics post-October 7.
